Watch Belgium get into trouble at the EU and NATO for even suggesting this.

Doesn’t make up for all the literal genocide their kingdom pulled. But they would know what one looks like to call it out. Still love to see the ball is moving for Palestine at all given how hard the Zionists are trying to go after everyone everywhere.

It is rather telling though that all the countries who were terrible and (eventually) got better latter, such as Belgium and South Africa, are directly calling out the acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing that they recognize as such.

The only response I’ve seen from pro-IDF people is just attacking said past history, rather than addressing the statements themselves.
